Gram-negative vertebral osteomyelitis infections are increasing due to rising intravenous drug use but overall remain uncommon.Here, we present a case of Burkholderia cepacia complex cervical osteomyelitis in an intravenous drug user.Burkholderia cepaciacomplex vertebral osteomyelitis has been infrequently described in the literature thus far with
At the global and regional scales, the distribution and abundance of marine phytoplankton are under the control of physical forcing.Moreover, the community structure and the size structure of phytoplankton assemblages also appear to be under physical control.Areas of the ocean with common physical forcing (ecological provinces) may be expected to h

In practical applications, the safe operation of large-diameter prestressed Pore Strips concrete cylinder pipes (PCCPs) depends on the loading performance under internal water pressure.However, there is lack of damage tests for the full-scale large-diameter PCCPs due to economic cost and experimental difficulty.In this paper, a full-scale PCCP with
Pea seeds were swollen in solutions with different concentrations of cytokinin benzyladenine (BA).As compared with controls, a low concentration of BA (0.05 mg/l) did not affect the growth of stems and roots of twelve-day-old seedlings but concentrations of 0.20-4.00 mg/l showed an inhibiting effect; this inhibition was proportional to the concentr
